@bergedersarkissian and @olivermintersolvol put extra item in general business.
- Berge to table new party memberships and group vote if accept new party memberships.
Just had thought. Should the names of new members be noted in the minutes. Really they should but perhaps it does not respect privacy of the new members.
More thought. If Berge (or Oliver) can circulate the list by email and that is the tabled document and in our minutes. In the database if Oliver could then note that the members were accepted at 12.8.2014 IC meeting.

Let me know if someone has thoughts, and we can also discuss it in the meeting.

yes Joum thats a good idea... obviously i will need an email from Berge stating all the new members that have been approved by him, then i will make sure that they are in a database somewhere (i'll make a new spreadsheet today for this - in absence of a much needed automated database) then i will enter in a column that "they were all approved by the IC at the meeting on the 12/8/14" then once i have done that - i will email everyone in the IC, a copy of Berge's original email to me - with the end sentence added "these members were passed by the IC at the meeting on the 12/8/14."
That should work. It might sound complicated to some - but its actually very simple.

Fine by me

@bergedersarkissian could you vote please. It makes it easier to see the result. I know it is a silly formality but at the next meeting we need to state that loomio shows the last minutes were accepted. (or at least by the time I write the next minutes.)
Cheers.
